The courses at Paris Art Academy were not easy. Madelyn lived a routine life, eating, sleeping, and attending classes.
It was a rare exchange program opportunity, so she spent most of her time on her courses.
After school in the afternoon, she would talk to Ethan on the phone every day chatting about daily matters.
Leonardo took the students to participate in an international painting competition. Other than having dinners together, they rarely met.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Madelyn returned to the hotel, she would stay in her room. Occasionally, she would check the news back home in Ventropolis.
A news notification suddenly caught her attention when she was about to put her phone down. It was about the Azure Corporation.
She then clicked open the news and saw the eye-catching headlines of "Azure Corporation Merges With a Subsidiary of Arnold Corporation". The content was: [Zach Jardin, the acting CEO of the Azure Corporation, was relieved from his position on the grounds of mismanagement. He is currently replaced by Mark Musk, the director of Arnold Corporation's Enterprise Department.
According to interviews with people within the Arnold Corporation, the main reason for Azure Corporation's merger with the Arnold Corporation is that the former CEO, Zach Jardin, failed to complete certain project developments on time.
The consequences of this mistake could cost Azure Corporation over a hundred million dollars, with a risk of imprisonment for the individuals involved. In order to ensure that the project goes smoothly, the Azure Corporation had no choice but to merge with the Arnold Corporation...
This story is reported by Ventropolis News. We will continue to closely follow this situation.] Madelyn came to a conclusion after reading it. ‘Zach has been sidelined. If he has stepped down, it means he won't do anything to the Azure Corporation anymore in the future. The Azure Corporation is still the Jent family's business." Madelyn suddenly realized, "Zach is the heir that father has groomed. He's also the person Father values the most.
‘This incident must've been a great blow to Father. If it's true, he'll definitely come and ask me to intercede on Zach's behalf.’ To avoid any contact, after she finished reading the news, she immediately turned off her phone.
Madelyn believed with Zach's abilities, even without the Azure Corporation, he would find another way to continue with his plan.
But she thought that was fine too since this would delay Zach's harmful actions against the Jent family.
At this moment, the Jent family was indeed trying to contact Madelyn, but the person calling her was Jasmine, not Zach.

The next day, Jane had to prepare for a competition. She had been coming back to the hotel less frequently lately, so these days Madelyn was alone most of the time.
It was the weekend, so she did not need to go to class. At eight in the morning, someone knocked on Madelyn's door. She had just finished washing up and she went to open the door, "Dorian?" Dorian had a solemn expression. He was holding a plane ticket, "Madelyn, why didn't answer the phone call? It seems like something's happened at your home." Upon hearing the news, Madelyn was momentarily stunned, "W-What are you talking about?" Dorian responded, "Yesterday, someone named Jasmine Manning called Prof. Monet. She said your father suddenly fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. After Prof. Monet found out, he immediately had someone book a flight at noon today for you.
There's still time, so you should quickly pack your things. I'll drive you to the airport.” Madelyn did not pack anything. She hurriedly got into Dorian’s car and left.
Last night, she had turned off her phone, which was why she had not answered Jasmine's call.
She had not expected the uneasiness last night to be a premonition.
The weather today was melancholy. It was raining and the sky was gloomy, much like how she was feeling. She felt anxious and the feeling would not go away.
On the way, Dorian was comforting her, "Madelyn, don't worry. Everything will be fine. The teachers at school have already arranged leaves for you." Madelyn listlessly responded with a "Hm".
She was lost in her thoughts, "Why did father fall ill at this time? According to the timeline of my past life, it should've been after my graduation from university. Did Zach take action earlier? ‘During my past life, Hayson suddenly died without any warning one night."
